Everyone takes “testosterone boosters” like Rise and Swell (shameless plug) but they often have no idea of the “plumbing” that goes along with actually increasing testosterone. Let’s take a walk from the pituitary gland down to your nutsack and see what is exactly going on: Envonmental chemicals like Atrazine have been shown to desensitize Leydig […]

Cortisol is both friend and foe to the weightlifter and bodybuilder. It’s not our arch enemy like everyone believes, but it’s a wild stallion that needs to be tamed to make it work for us! Let’s see how we can domesticate this hormone to make it our friend and not our enemy. The Misunderstood Hormone […]

Once upon a time, a company released “green lipped muscle extract” as a miracle myostatin inhibitor. The ad was pretty cool, it showed these enormous bulls that had folds upon folds of muscle mass. The promise was to the masses that if we blocked myostatin, we would get as big as these bulls! Sadly, it […]

Everyone is up in arms because DMAA is gone from the market, but to be honest I am not terribly upset. DMAA is not the “holy grail” stimulant for each person. It has a long history and it’s not one that is particularly interesting. Tale of Two Marketing Companies Company E released DMAA in 2009 […]

Prohormones are under attack again and while they are still technically legal, there is a hold on the market until the manufacturers decide whether they will continue to sell them or abandon the market (it’s hard to fight city hall). Prohormones are one of the best ways to supplement the diet and accelerate the effects […]

The modern pre-workout has really taken a bad turn for the worse since “ultra-concentrates” were released with pretty much nothing but stimulants. While stimulants are good, they do very little to actually build muscle mass. No supplement will replace hard work in the gym and a good diet plan, but they do help you have […]

If you have been unaware, prohormones are under attack again, this time the DEA is looking to add four prohormones to their list of Schedule III steroids. That’s not a bad thing, since many of these are absolutely illegal without any basis to sell. Second, there is some potential for contamination with the DHEA isomers […]

For years now, I have been preaching that stacking LH boosting agents upon other agents has little to no tangible benefits for boosting testosterone. The creation of testosterone in the testicular organelles is a far more complicated process than most supplement companies understand. With this, they constantly and consistently over stimulate the same pathway, because […]

There are so many theories on boosting testosterone, and if you’ve followed my articles you will realize that often times that taking testosterone up to even the maximum levels for humans (about 1200ng/dl) fail to yield a response to muscle mass! WHEN LEVELS ARE HIGHEST As shown in the chart below, testosterone levels are highest […]

In a recent article on sperm count (a key indicator of male health) the conclusion is that the standard western “diet” seems to have a hugely negative effect on sperm count and the typical western lifestyle of insulin resistance and hyper cholesterol seem to cause a reduction in sperm activity (count and mobility) in men […]
